Mille Miglia heritage marked with limited-run Giulia and Stelvio - hope you like black
models shouldn’t need much help finding customers; they’re the best series production versions yet of two extremely exciting performance cars. The kind that even Alfa won’t be making for very much longer, remember. They’re now £80k for the saloon and £90k for the SUV, yes - but everything is expensive these days. Whatever the case, just a couple of months after the launch of the 520hp variants, there are UK-bound special editions of both Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio.
The Super Sport is a tribute to Alfa’s first Mille Miglia success in 1928. Which, yes, does sound a bit tenuous, but frankly we’ll take these cars however they come with only a couple of years left. The 6C 1500 Super Sport raced 96 years ago by Giuseppe Campari and Giulio Ramponi took the first of Alfa’s 11 victories on the Mille Miglia, so it’s a hugely significant car in its motorsport history.
Both Stelvio and Giulia are unchanged mechanically, benefitting from the recent boost to 520hp and introduction of a new diff; the Super Sport upgrades are instead largely cosmetic. That includes a redesign of the cloverleaf badge , Vulcano Black or Etna Red paint , some fetching red-tinted carbon fibre inside and contrast stitching on the seats to mark it out. For the Giulia, the headrest will say ‘1 of 275’, for the Stelvio it’ll be ‘1 of 175’. An Akrapovic exhaust is standard on both.
An exact UK allocation hasn’t been confirmed as yet, though they’re definitely coming here and we tend to have been well served as a market: specials likeand Sauber F1 have made it in the past. There’s not a big premium to pay for a Super Sport, either, with the saloon priced from £82,815 and the Stelvio at £91,835. Cars for the die-hard Alfisti, perhaps, but they’ll both be very sorely missed when they’re gone.
